In the Spider-Man project that James Cameron prepared in the 90s, a scene was included in which Peter Parker’s sexual awakening and the development of his powers would be discussed.
Before Sam Raimi took over Spider-Man, a film that premiered in 2002, filmmaker James Cameron developed a Spider-Man project in the 1990s, which did not materialize, and in which a sequence with the sexual awakening of Peter Parker was included.
Don’t miss: James Cameron’s Spider-Man, the movie that never was
After the success that James Cameron had with Terminator 2, the filmmaker prepared a project to bring Spider-Man to the big screen. This movie was on the radar of studios like MGM and 20th Century Fox, who pursued the rights to Spidey.
This project, as Spider-Man writer David Koepp recalls, included a metaphor in which he equated Spider-Man’s origins with Peter’s sexual awakening, in a sequel where Parker would realize his arachnid gifts, something defended by James Cameron himself.
“He took the metaphor of adolescent sexual development too far. There’s a great moment where Peter wakes up in bed with gossamer strands everywhere… It was like, wow, I don’t know if we can do that wet dream thing, but it was pretty funny.”.
Cameron defended his idea tooth and nail
Even James Cameron took this idea to the people of Columbia Pictures, something that the studio did not see as convenient.
“The fact that Cameron took it seriously was a big deal. He legitimized it in people’s minds, no least of all probably Sony”.
James Cameron stepped aside from the project due to problems with the film rights to Spider-Man, which ended up in the hands of Sony. Cameron directed Titanic, one of the biggest hits of his in his career.
